gollark: Is there not a lot more inter-personal than inter-gender variance in ideas?

gollark: I mean, my A-level computer science cohort of 9 people contains exactly 0 (zero) women.
gollark: Yes. I think it's better to just ignore gender etc. where possible, and/or figure out exactly *why* there are fewer women doing things, rather than segregating later.
gollark: Only to WEAK mortal humans.
